InFamous

Movie signs

In The Neon District, there is a sign outside the cinema saying "Sly 4" and another one for "Honor Among Thieves" which is another Sly Cooper title. The Sly 4 sign was most likely a joke at the time it was put into the game, as Sly 4 wasn't announced until Sanzaru announced it in the Sly Collection, which was released in 2010. There is also a joke movie poster for a fictional movie called "Alone In The House Of Blood," which has rather unfavorable reviews for it on the poster. This was likely a poke at the amount of "terrible" horror movies being released for the time.

Other games

Sly Cooper

The Chinese drinks on the card table on Zeke's roof in the Neon District have the Panda King's face on them. The Panda King is a character from Sly Cooper, another game series by Sucker Punch, the developer of this game.

Cole's backpack has a Sly Cooper Logo on it. This is also featured in InFamous 2.

There is a trophy named "You're so Sly."

Miscellaneous

While Cole stretches out his powers, Zeke Dunbar can be seen reading Atomic Lead, a comic book published by Sucker Punch.

There is a cafe named Atomic Lead Cafe. This is a reference to Atomic Leads.

At the beginning of the mission "Torn," Zeke can be seen reading the Thievius Raccoonus. This is a reference to the book that serves as the ancestral heirloom to the Cooper family in the Sly Cooper series.

Assassin's Creed

Miscellaneous

After finishing the game, if one goes to the theater, there will be a poster that promotes Sin Central. At the end of the poster is "Over 9000 clubs. Open All Night." This is a reference to Dragon Ball Z.

There are several shops around town with the hotlines of :555-1337">555-1337, 555-1337,:555-123-4567,555-123-456,555-123-4567, put as a joke for the order).

There is a shop with a poster out that says "WE'LL SAVE YOUR SOLE" (with a picture of a shoe with an over-sized sole). This could be a reference to the song by Jeweltitled Who Will Save Your Soul?.

There is a bar in town known as Mclean's Red Rum. Redrum is actually "murder" backwards, popularized in the movie The Shining, in the scene where it mysteriously appeared on a wall in blood. This also may be a reference to the boss from Xenogears, Redrum.

During the mission "Exposing Bertrand," Bertrand is seen turning one of the prisoners he was holding into a corrupted. This is actually a cameo appearance by Nate Fox through his screams. Bertrand even calls him by name, stating, "Don't give up, Nate! We're gonna get that demon out of ya! Even if it takes.. all night!"

Also in the mission "Exposing Bertrand," if one hides from the Militia guard groups, they will eventually mention Bobby Ray, a singer from Houston, Texas.

There is a shop in New Marais called Red Ring Electronics. This is a reference to the so-called "Red Ring of Death" on the Xbox, that occurs from the system overheating.

Miscellaneous

In Mary's Teachings, there is a reference to Tarzan of The Apes by Edgar Rice Burrows, the character John Greystroke, Tarzan's father. It is unknown if this was an intentional reference or not.

Uncharted Love "stars Kyle Nikolich and Kyle Nikolich". Kyle Nikolich is a modeler at Sucker Punch Productions, who worked on the festival props in Festival of Blood, and he is seen in a poster promoting the movie.

Considering that Festival of Blood came after InFamous 2, it can be speculated that the festival props were originally going to appear in InFamous 2.

There is a poster for a concert featuring a band named Kirby The Bugz that is set to Friday, December 21. This is a reference to the socially-believed supposed end of the world in 2012.

InFAMOUS: Second Son

Other games

In the beginning of the game, when Delsin Rowe is exploring the clinic, he may find a Knack doll.

Delsin's ringtone is the main theme music from the game Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time.

There is an electronics chain store that goes by the name Cole McG's, another reference to Cole, the protagonist in the first two InFamous games. This also reflects Cole's power of Electrokinesis.

In Eugene's place, there is a sword that bears a resemblance to the Master Sword from The Legend of Zelda series.

In the first parts of the game, Delsin says the roadblock on the way to Seattle is "like a post-apocalyptic Vegas." This could be a nod to the game Fallout: New Vegas.

Infamous Easter Egg in the longhouse

In the beginning of the game, a child's drawing of Cole and a Reaper may be found.

During the credits, the Dead Sara cover of the Nirvana song "Heart-Shaped Box" is played to reflect Nirvana being a major part of the Seattle grunge scene in the early 1990s.

The same cover is played during Reggie and Delsin's conversation in Reggie's truck on their way to Seattle, and was also used in trailers for the game.

Near Eugene's hideout, there is a sign with news scrolling along it. Two of the things it says is "Sly Cooper arrested for burglary" and "Sly Cooper wins belching contest".

Cooper and MacGrath'

There is a sign for a building that reads "Cooper and MacGrath" and is accompanied by a neon Sly Cooper logo. This is a reference to the titular character of the Sly Cooper series and the protagonist of the past two InFamous games, Cole MacGrath.

There are a few Vietnamese noodle shops called "in-PHO-mous", a reference to inFAMOUS, the name of the series.

Panda King Gas

There is a gas station called "Panda King Gas". Panda King was a character from Sly Cooper, which was also developed by Sucker Punch Productions.

The names of reviewers on the Heaven's Hellfire advert parody the names of real game reviewers, such as Brotaku being a parody of Kotaku and Gameadvisor being a parody of Game Informer.

The numerous adverts for the fictional game "Heaven's Hellfire" note the impending release of the "7th expansion", possibly mocking the vast number of expansion packs that various MMORPGs have released for them, most likely World of Warcraft in particular.

Lincoln's Toe Truck

Near Eugene's hideout, there is a billboard advertising "Empire City The Musical", a reference to the setting of the first game in the series.

There is a billboard for a car which has the Sly Cooper logo as the brand's logo.

There is an unlockable vest design for Delsin, which has a skull and some crossbones on it. It is called "X-Bone", this is possibly a reference to "XBone", the abreviated name for the Xbox One.

There is a playground in Seattle with Sly Cooper, Bentley and Murray painted on the wall, the three main characters from the Sly Cooper series.

Another unlockable vest design for Delsin is "Zeke's Lucky 7", a reference to the shirt Zeke wears throughout InFamous 2.

There is a street named Mercer Street in the game. This street is in real life Seattle too, but it could also reference Alex Mercer, protagonist of the Prototype series, the first competitor of inFAMOUS.

The Mercer Street sign.

In Eugene's hideout, on the side of one of the arcade games is a picture of a character who resembles Solid Snake from the Metal Gear Solid franchise.

Also inside Eugene's hideout, next to his labtop is a disk for "Call of D.U.P. 9", complete with the tagline 'Guns of Guns' and German gibberish in the background. The name is obviously a reference to the popular FPS series Call of Duty.

Also in Eugene's hideout are cans of "Cole-Ca Cola", a reference to not only Coca-Cola, but also the protagonist of the first two games, Cole MacGrath.

Volume 7 of the Thievius Raccoonus.

In the longhouse at the beginning of the game, after you come across the X-rays and the cutscene plays, if you look to the left table, Volume 7 of the Thievius Raccoonus is sitting there.

As well, in Abigail's "Olaf's Sea Shack" Sign Hideout, Volumes 1, 5, 6, and 8 of the "Thievius Raccoonus Collections" can be found.

Olaf is also the name of the snowman in the 2013 animated movie Frozen.

One of the buttons on Delsin's jacket is the Sly Cooper logo.

Miscellaneous

There are signs across the city that show the 2014 Seattle football champions, a reference to the NFL team Seattle Seahawks, who won Super Bowl XLVIII in 2014.

At every bus stop, there is a sign which states "In case of emergency, jump off station on tracks. Don't worry, you'll live... it's a video game". Breaking the fourth wall.

When un-pausing the game, the logo of your current karma rank will flash on the screen for a split second. Also, the logo increases in size the closer you get to the track record of Delsin on the pause screen.

Upon getting the Enjoy Your Power Platinum trophy for the game, Delsin will comment, "You know what buddy. You and I have been through a lot, but I gotta tell you. Officially, we're done."

Celia, the girl from the "Paper Trail" missions, wears an origami mask, which looks similar to the mask worn by the visions seen by the titular character in the film Donnie Darko.

There are many billboards advertising a coffee chain called Sasquatch Java, this is a parody of the Washington based coffee chain, Bigfoot Java.

In Redport Plaza, there is a shop called Labombie & Filtch, a parody of the fashion brand Abercrombie & Fitch.

If the player is good and starts a new game, a small part of the music track, Cumulonimbus, will play. Cumulonimbus is featured only in the evil story, thus the game is saying that it already knows what path the player will take next.

Occasionally, a civilian will say "Who dresses that boy?", this may be a nod to the number of people who complained about Delsin's appearance.

The iconic "Lincoln's Toe Tuck" appears in-game.

On the TVs in the city, an advert sometimes plays, saying "another social networking site. That's all we offer. Nothing more, nothing less. That's all we have to offer. Delusionbook." This is mocking the vast amounts of social networking websites that are available now and the name itself is a parody of the popular social networking website, Facebook.

The crane on top of the parking garage in the Lantern District has a sign on it that says Frasier, this is most likely a reference to the character, Frasier Crane, of the Seattle-based US sitcom Frasier.

There are some signs in Seattle that read NEX JEN, a reference to the fact that InFAMOUS: Second Son is a "next-gen" game, meaning it's developed for a generation 8 console.

There is a coffee chain called Cafe Con Quistador, whose logo looks similar to that of the famous Seattle-based coffee chain, Starbucks.

InFAMOUS: First Light

Other games

The trucks that Shane and his gang use are stolen/disguised so they look like they belong to a moving company called "MacCooper Moving". This is a reference to both Cole MacGrath from the first two inFAMOUS games, and Sly Cooper from Sucker Punch's Sly Cooper series. It could also be a reference to the clan of MacCoopers from the Sly Cooper series.

A poster for the first InFamous can be seen inside a store.

Abigail's ringtone is taken from a music track from the first inFAMOUS.

The track that plays during the Beta Arena survival is taken from the first inFAMOUS.

A copy of real-life newspaper, The Stranger, can be seen in newspaper vendors around Seattle. When inspected up close, the cover says "Cole McGrath". It is unknown why Cole's last name is spelled differently here.

Miscellaneous
